Chips Delight at Galinco Land

Do your kids love chips delight? Well if you love chocolate chips cookies and you don't want to spend a lot you should try Chips Delight, crunchy, delicious and affordable too! Well we had a chance to have a preview and learn the process of doing this yummy cookies when my kids had a field trip last Nov. 22.

Parents were not allowed to enter the factory but the teachers told me to replace them so I can also watch over my kids especially Josh. They only allowed 3 guardians to go with the kids and that's only for the purpose of ensuring that the kids will be properly watched and protected from any accident.

As I've watched the demo of how they mix and cook cookies I'll share some here. The process was summarized in five steps and here in the picture you can see how they taught the kids with the use of Galinco land picture. The steps are :
First - Mr. Germ Army for sanitation
Second - Magic Dough - for mixing the ingredients
Third - Mr. Vulcan where the dough mixture will be baked
Fourth - Windy Valley where thousands of baked chips delight were being inspected and aired Fifth/Last - Mr Wrapper where the cookies will be wrapped ready for delivery and selling

Curious As A Cat: Week Number 145

1) How do you show someone that they are special to you? I care about them and love them unconditionally, most of the times I cook something special for them

2) What would be on your menu if you knew your next meal would be your last one? I will not think of a grand menu, I'll just include fruits!

3) If you could have said one thing to Harry Truman the day he decided to drop the atomic bomb, what would you have said? Conscience will always be there to remind you of this dark day!

4) Who is the person you would most like to help? I'll start with my own churchmates!

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one. The chicken are planning some ways on how they can escape from their miserable condition lol!

Staying On Hotels!

My sister-in-law loves to travel to different places and she’s been rounding up various countries in Europe in her vacation trips. Staying on beach resorts and hotels is a common thing to her when she’s on other land. Last year she visited Egypt, Italy and her homeland Philippines and she stayed in their hometown in Samar where the beach stays beautifully intact. I wonder if she’s going to America on her next travel, she may want to stay on las vegas hotel or some other nice hotels around depending on where she’ll be wanting to tour around. She deserves to enjoy her vacation wherever she wants because she works hard for it.

Boost Your Energy Level!

I’m feeling very tired since last week before and after my kids’ school activities. We were very happy about the field trip but after that my works piled up and I had to stay late at night just to finish my assignments before the due dates. I’m thinking of taking energy pills to boost my energy level and stopped fatigue from invading my body. I need this to do all my everyday activities with enough strength and stamina. I also need to be intellectually healthy so I can do my office works efficiently and have fresh ideas on my write-ups.

Educational Tour - Manila Zoo

Our first stop on my kids' educational trip last Saturday was at the Manila Zoo. It's still there in Manila because the supposed relocation was cancelled. It looks like it has been newly cleaned and retouched but some places still looks old to me like the wishing pond which was very dirty and look unkept. Anyway children were excited 'as always' they never seem to run out of energy, don't they?

They were given one hour to round up the place so I got Gen's paper and pen to jot down the animals that they saw (their assignment). I listed elephant, alligator, crocodile, zebra, horse, burmese phyton, snake, turtle, hippopotamus, deer, ostrich, tiger, monkeys, gorilla, birds, rabbit, fishes, painted stork, peacock, eagle, etc.

I'm actually looking for my favorite giraffe and lion but I learned that the lion was transferred to Avalon Zoo and good old giraffe accidentally ate a kind of plastic wrapper that caused him to die, sad! This is the reason why cleanliness is now strictly implemented there. If only people knows how to put their trash in the proper areas my dear giraffe would still be alive now, sad!

Final stop - Souvenir Shop where Josh had his pick of Bow and Arrow!

Acne and Treatment

I was asked by my 11-year old daughter if she will have acne when she gets older. As early as now she's aware that some of her schoolmates are starting to develop this kind of skin disorder. She wanted me to give her an assurance that I'll know how to deal with it when her time comes. I told her that having acne depends on your eating and sleeping habit and it's also on the genes.

I remember my cousin who used to have acne has been consulting her dermatologists about acne and treatment and she told me that maybe she got it from her father's genetic history. Her father also has the same skin disorder. Anyway there's plenty of treatment available online. Look at what I've browsed here.
